# Sonic Mania Plus vs Infinite Ignition

The clearest difference is ads: Sonic Mania Plus at none against Infinite Ignition's shown. Sonic Mania Plus also leads on ratings volume (29K vs 5). Infinite Ignition's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks).

Both are free to download. Sonic Mania Plus sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per month and Infinite Ignition sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
